More About Tariff

What does tariff mean?

A tariff is a tax or duty on products that come into a country (imports) or leave it (exports), imposed by the country鈥檚 government.

A tariff is also the list of taxes a government imposes on imports and exports.

To tariff can mean to subject to a tariff.

Example: There is a high tariff on foreign music CDs, so I just stream it instead.

Where does tariff come from?

The first records of the term tariff come from the late 1500s. It ultimately comes from the Arabic 鈥arrafa, meaning 鈥渢o make known.鈥 A tariff is most commonly associated with a board or chart readily available at ports and customs that lists the taxes imposed on different imports.

Tariffs are often used to try to protect industries within a country that make the same kind of products that are being imported to. By charging a tariff for an import, it is hoped that the price the customer pays for the product will be more for the imported product than for the domestic one. For example, if the United States wants to encourage its citizens to buy cars made in the US, it might impose a tariff on cars made in other countries and then imported to the US. There is a lot of debate about whether tariffs really do encourage customers to buy domestic goods.

In the same way that a chart will show tariffs on goods, a tariff can also be found at public transportation centers such as a bus or train station. These tariffs often list charges such as fares and fees for pets, as well as a variety of discounts, such as for children and veterans.
